The editorial team is led by Tom Shoop, along with managing editor Sue Fourney and Executive Editor Allan Holmes, who also oversees tech-focused Nextgov sister site. The editorial staff includes veteran reporters Bob Brewin and Katherine McIntire Peters. The magazine is distributed free to senior executives in federal, state and local governments.
This is actually a pretty interesting website/publication. Take a look at it at http://www.govexec.com/.
